Vantage to break ground in Taipei

Vantage Data Centers is planning to expand data center operations into Taipei, Taiwan. The company announced this week that it is planning a new facility in Taipei called TPE1 data center and it is expected to be open in mid-2024. 

This new facility is being constructed on a 2-acre site. It is a five-story facility that will offer 16MW across 215,000 square feet and be powered by local utility Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) via an on-site substation. This site will also have two meet-me rooms and use a closed-loop chilled water system generated through air-cooled chillers.

Raymond Tong, president of Vantage Data Centers, APAC said, “Taipei is a prime location to serve customers across Asia as demand across the region continues to skyrocket, especially given the use of modern technologies such as AI. Leveraging a skilled workforce, we look forward to opening the doors of this facility to continue building Taiwan’s digital hub and contributing to the market’s ongoing technological growth in sustainable ways. Vantage fully supports the government’s focus in adopting sustainable resources, and we are committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions across our global portfolio by 2030.”
